Not for me

Reading other reviews it seems as though I have stayed in a totally different hotel.
We did not book this hotel, nor did we book to stay in Ovacik but, thanks to First Choice, that is where we ended up. Our original booking was for a hotel in Hisaronou that First Choice changed a week before departure claiming building work was taking place there. We will never know as we did not want to waste valuable holiday time checking that out. One bonus was that we were the first drop off en route from the airport and the last pick up going back.
One thing that I will agree with other reviewers on is the friendliness of the very helpful staff at the Monta Verde. They were an absolute joy and a credit to the hotel.
We actually only stayed here for the first and last nights of our holiday to benefit from the coach transfer from the airport. The remainder of our stay was spent on Oludeniz and were we glad of that. We were allocated a dungeon room (118) in the Monta Verde. This was very cramped, dirty and smelled very musty. We did mention it to the rep who's only concern was whether we had a balcony or not. We had (of sorts) and that was the end of the matter. We were not unduly concerned as we knew that we were only there for a couple...Reading other reviews it seems as though I have stayed in a totally different hotel.

We were not unduly concerned as we knew that we were only there for a couple of nights but IMHO Thomson/First Choice should not have these dungeon rooms on their allocation.

The breakfast was buffet style with a good choice and was regularly checked and topped up, even beyond the advertised closing time! Breakfast could be taken in a small room alongside the buffet or at a number of tables around the pool.

There were plenty of the usual culprits reserving the sunbeds around the main pool and then never using them. However, tucked away on a lower level was the 'Silent Pool'. This was a smaller pool with some sunbeds and beanbags around and we had no trouble getting sunbeds here on both days of our stay.

An interesting couple of days but not an experience I would want to repeat.More

Having spent 2 weeks at the MontaVerde last year, we returned more for the location than the hotel itself, and then found ourselves completely overwhelmed by the new look hotel, and new look staff and management. What a fantastic improvement! The staff are the real stars of this hotel - without exception they are efficient, friendly and go out of their way to ensure your stay goes smoothly, and that goes for everyone here, including the management.

Whilst every member of staff deserves praise, I would have to single out Ramazan and Izmet, who are one of the funniest double acts you will find anywhere! One of them is quiet and unassuming (and is the architect of the new improvements) and the other is a born clown! If you go you'll sort out which is which within less than 2 mins. Great fun. We spent most evenings up in the terrace bar and were never short of laughter with them around. At the same time they remained superbly efficient so we weren't short of beer (or tea!) either. We did let them win at pool most evenings, just so they didn't feel bad! Oh, ok, yes actually we were rubbish and they trounced us! I blame the heat.

Also, like others on here, a mention for Adam on reception - always smiling, always wanting to go the extra mile and has an extraordinary ability to carry heavy suitcases two at a time, when we've struggled to move one! Another absolute star.

The rooms themselves are still a bit basic, but excellent value for money, they're clean and have the mod cons you 'll need. At these prices, I'm not complaining. I would hate to see the prices rise in order to refurbish the rooms . . . .that would take away some of the character of the hotel.

My only worry is that everyone else writing a review on here says they want to go back in September, and I was hoping to do the same - guess I'd better book early!

Congratulations to Barkin and Bora - you've created a superb hotel here, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

The Service in this hotel was exceptional, all staff wee extremely friendly and ensued we wee looked after at all times.our favorite pat of the hotel was the 'slience' pool ( 'silence' miss-spelt on the sign) followed by the terrace bar whee between 5 and 9 a large Efes (Lager) was 3 lira.. about £1.50 at the exchange rate then.the room was basic but a TV with wold news was provided along with the usual shower and bathroom. the shower (a word of warning) is cold in the morning as it is solar heated. The best time for a hot shower is between 3-6 as most people get a shower around 6-7 before they go out for their meals. so beat the rush!! the rooms are cleaned everyday as waste toilet paper is to be disposed of in a small red bin provided wich is emptied every day at a similar time. the linen is changed every three days but if you request the maids are always happy to help and will change sooner if required. No food or drink is allowed in the hotel its self unless purchased on the premises. we tended to put a large water, about 30p from a shop a little down the road, into the bottom of a beach bag and keep it in the room for those thirsty midnight moments as tap water is not advisable for drinking. The local buses dolice 'dolly' litterally meaning crammed is the way to get to fethiye or oludeniz. closer to than fethiye or the lagoon at oludenz is a town called hisaronu. this has a market on most tuesdays so come out of the hotel turn right and just follow the road down and the large cloud of white tents will appear on the left side after 10 minutes or so.fetihye we only frequented once because of its much larger market on the monday. many tour operators offer a trip down... dont bother. get the dolice bus traveling left, wave and ask the driver for fetihye (fetEyay) and he will shout the market when nearby. you cant miss it as its huge! to get back up go to where you were droipped of and look for a buss with the sign oludeniz - ovachik and hail it down.from the hotel oludeniz is a short ride on the bus through hisaronu then out again and down the hill where you will get a great view if sitting in the front seat, of the bay. once at the bottom walk left along the front to explore jewlery shops and cafes etc. or bear right towards the private beaches (sugar beach etc) and the nature reseve wich sticks out creating the lagoon. sunbeds are usually around six lira as are umbrellas if required.now my final comment is to recommend a restaurant... Three Cheers located on the left if heading right out of the hotell towards hisaronu. please give this place at least one visit, oor made us very welcome and i especially enjoyed the spinach and egg pide (turkish pizza) and the chicken stir fry (not at all chinese) completely authentic turkish cuisine (even the turks ate there).Thanks for your time and if you choose to stay at the monta verde and enjoy its surroundings then i wish you a fantastic holliday!

And say Hi to rambo (ramisan), bora, barkin, smet and kurt.

Our stay at Monta Verde was totally worth every penny we paid for it. We loved it so much we want to go again in September.

From the off, the staff were fantastic. We arrived at around 4:00 am , very tired, and the staff at reception were there to help take our cases and help us. This was a brilliant first impression to us, and it got better.The first night we went to their Turkish night, and later on in the week they had Bingo and Latin night. The staff are very involved and join in but aren't forecful in making guests join in. Everything is very laid back. The bar is open until the last drink is bought, and the bar staff are all lovely and very funny. The owners and managers are all very talkative and get involved also. This is something I had never seen before, as normally they don't in other hotels.The hotel staff are lovely, friendly people and they definitely make the hotel what it is.

The area around Ovacik is great. I would recommend going to Hisaronu town and Olu Deniz Blue Lagoon Beach. The market on a Monday in Hisaronu is good for bargains! There is so much to do around the area. We did three excursions in a week, and we haggled with the prices and got them for around 60 pounds sterling. This included Paragliding off Babadag mountain which was fantastic! Well worth it. And a trip to Dalyan Turtle Beach and also a jeep safari. The companies pick you up from the hotel which is useful. The stretch of road that Monta Verde is situated on is full of bars and restauraunts, but the hotel does offer a good service too.

We stayed bed and breakfast and self-catered. Nothing is too expensive and meals at the hotel are good in price and quality. However, I would recommend paying the tab you have every morning instead of running it all week, because I had a lot to pay at the end!

All in all, I would definitely reccommend Monta Verde, it is greta for the money you pay and we are definitely going back in Spetember! :) MONTA VERDE FOR THE WIN!

Staying a week at the Monta Verde was not long enough and thats why we hope to return in September.We can't speak highly enough about the staff, they are very friendly and always made the effort to have a conversation with us. We also found it nice that the owners spent so much time mixing with the guests - can't say we have seen that at other hotels we have been to.The hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious. We only had 1 disrupted night of sleep but that was due to a couple arguing which the reception staff soon sorted out.The hotel is also in a good location with buses running to Hisaronu and Olu Deniz every few minutes, Theres a lot of excursions to go on so it is not possible to be bored. Plus there is a market on a Monday just down the road which we would recommend going to just for the banter!

Overall we loved my stay at the Monta Verde hotel and would recommend anyone to stay there. We would consider this holiday to have been one of the best we have ever been on.
